“Wild Africa has been around for few years and its available basically in every continent and because Africa is in our name, it’s time to move our African countries better so we decided to bring it to Nigeria and from here, we hope it becomes a household name that most people know because we believe as they taste the brand, there will be no going back,” he said.

He further added that the organisation had partnered Nigeria’s leading household products manufacturing and commodity distribution conglomerate, the Ekulo Group for fast and effective distribution network, which will enable the brand to have significant visibility around the country.

Some products in that category have priced themselves so high but we give quality even better than what is in the market.”
